Fostering Resilient Agriculture Through Supply Chain Partnerships

The World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in London is the leading European networking event, uniting over 1000 business leaders and key stakeholders dedicated to driving advancements in climate-resilient, sustainable agriculture across the supply chain from farm to fork.

Celebrating its 13th year, the summit returned to London on September 30 – October 1, 2024. It brought together agribusinesses, farming co-operatives, CPGs, policymakers, investors, and start-ups to explore groundbreaking innovations, regulatory targets, and high-level collaborations critical for catalysing change and bringing high impact solutions to scale.
